Hi Natalie:
I'll be in the programme at Victoria in Wellington. I'm originally
from the States, and just moved here about six months ago. I'm
thrilled to be accepted into the programme, and would LOVE to study
paganism in New Zealand...I'm still finding my way about though, and
thought I'd start off where I have a bit of history. Things seem
pretty quiet pagan-wise down here in Wellington. Or is it just me?
Cheers,
John
